21、盡管這不是她們選擇白色的初衷。就款式而言，婚紗禮服曾一度是前面短短的、后面是長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的裙擺。這種趨勢(shì)一直持續(xù)到20世紀(jì)60年代后期，那個(gè)時(shí)期全長(zhǎng)裙邊的設(shè)計(jì)恢復(fù)了流行。漢譯英中國(guó)是絲綢的故鄉(xiāng)，因而有很多與絲綢相關(guān)的藝術(shù)，刺繡(embroidery)就是其中的一種。刺繡是中國(guó)民間傳統(tǒng)手工藝之一，至少有兩、三千年的歷史。從事刺繡的多為女子，因此刺繡又被稱為”女紅”(womensneedlework)。刺繡在中國(guó)受到了人們廣泛的喜愛。刺繡可用來裝飾衣物，如在衣服、被子、枕套(pillowcase)等物品上繡上美麗的圖案，也可制作成特別的飾品(ornament)。中國(guó)有四大名繡：蘇州的蘇繡、廣東的粵繡、湖南

22、的湘繡以及四川的蜀繡。各種繡法不僅風(fēng)格有差異，主題也各有不同。在這其中，蘇州的蘇繡最負(fù)盛名。Chinaishometosilk,therebyhavingavarietyofartsrelatedtosilk,oneofwhichisembroidery.Embroidery,withatleasttwoorthreethousandyearsofhistory,isoneoftheChinesetraditionalfolkartsandcrafts.Sincemostembroiderersarewomen,itsalsocalledwomensneedlework.Embroideryh
